Either way, what I'm trying to prove is that the biofuel production isn't the cause of the devastation of the Amazon. [/color]
Well you're right in saying that I know nothing of the South American agri-economy beyond the scope of the above article, so would you enlighten me as to what is devastating the Amazon? I am genuinely curious, as the above chain reaction seems plausible, but if it's not true then what is the real issue at hand?
